Thanks for the well written response Dennis. I actually found a ""hatch seal" at a local marine supply store, looked like weather stripping....was closed seal. Didn't buy it, still thinking!

Reason I asked if they were necessary was because my '84 Offshore didn't have them.........

Those strips look like what I'm talking about........mine almost seem to fun the length of the hatch. Are the necessary and can you buy replacements?

Removed the hatches from my '95 268 Islander. Just purchased July '19. Hatch over the main tank had already been recored but the smaller rear one needed re-coring. Found rubber strips around the edges, see pics. Was this from Grady or the PO? There wasn't and caulking installed either.......

As long as I shut off and open the correct valve.......I shouldn't get salt water in my eyes!

I agree Fishtales.........and that's the way I intend to use it!

The fresh water tank is also connected to a separate pump for the sink in the cabin and the sink in the head.

Given all the responses.........I think it's safe to say this set-up is not what Grady had intended. I don't intend on using the fresh water to fill the live well, however it does give me the option to have fresh water at the wash-down hose for a quick rinse after being in salt water!!

You got it Fishtails......and a check valve makes sense!

See if the attachment makes any sense: 1) There is a valve inside the livewell to stop water flow. 2) If valve A is open and B is closed the Pump will be fed by Raw Water. 3) If valve A is closed and B is open the Pump will be fed by Fresh Water. This is how I assume it works...

I will try to draw a diagram........

Did some more investigating.......... While trying to measure the voltage on the wires I discovered I heard a pump running when the "freshwater pressure" switch was turned on; actually found water in the head (came out of the hose I found disconnected). Going to assume all is well on this at...

I have a new to me '95 Islander. During the off season I am getting more familiar w/ the boats systems. Has a raw water pump contected the washdown hose and the "live well". The raw water enters the hull and goes to a valve which is connected to a "T". One side of the "T" goes to the Pump and...

Thanks again....will check again when the weather permits. maybe new year's day.

Thanks.........I will have to check under the steps into the cabin. Can the steps be removed? Think I remember seeing an access panel on the bottom step.....not sure how I could even see in it.

I actually have the owner's manual but can't determine where the pump should be or how it's plumbed. There are 2 hoses connected to the bottom aft of the tank. Can't really tell where they go, the hose I found near the faucet on the sink in the head is clear w/ a white crosshatch.....that's not...

Recently purchased a '95 Islander 268. Basically just enjoyed using the boat last season, purchased in July. Getting familiar with the fresh water system.....do not see a pump at the bottom of the tank, found a orange and black wire near the fresh water tank not connected to anything, found the...

Get a bigger truck!

Where are you located? I'm selling my '84. https://longisland.craigslist.org/boa/d/west-babylon-grady-white-offshore/6980174435.html

Recently purchased a '95 268 Islander w/ Twin '95 Johnson 175's. VERY pleased with the boat so far having upgraded from a 241 Offshore. The islander has a 2-step swim ladder that sits in a molded section of the euro transom. Does anyone know if a 3-step ladder is available that will still fit...
